Tanveer Naseer - EzineArticles.com Expert Author
I heard at a seminar I attended that the first thing a person uses to describe themselves tells you what matters to them the most in their life. So in that vein, I’d describe myself as a proud father - proud of both who my children are and proud of getting to be their dad.
Although my post-graduate studies and work experiences are based in the medical sciences field, my curiosity and drive to learn ... [More]

- Finding Our Creativity in the Clouds
[Self-Improvement:Creativity] One of the things I enjoy doing with my kids on those lazy, sunny days of summer is looking for animals and other shapes in the puffy, white clouds that drift on by. Sometimes we'd find an elephant throwing water up into the air from its trunk, other times we find a dragon breathing out fire from his mouth. One time we even saw a cat flying a spaceship next to a laughing frog.
- Making Life's Little Moments Count
[Self-Improvement:Happiness] If you're like me I'm sure you've had days where the size of the To-Do list looks insurmountable, the weather outside is dreary and uninviting and basically, you find yourself without any motivation to get your day going. On some of these days, when we're stuck trying to figure out how we're going to get our momentum back, we receive this unexpected but welcome distraction - an email from a friend thanking us for what seemed to us to be a simple effort, a congratulatory note about some recent work we shared on Facebook or Twitter, or perhaps just one of our friends sharing some humorous anecdote that makes us laugh.
- Why Integrity Still Matters
[Business:Ethics] A couple of years ago, my parents bought a new dishwasher from a major electronics chain along with an extended warranty plan offered by the retailer. A few years later, that extra coverage appeared to be a wise move as they started having problems with their dishwasher after it was no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
- Saying Goodbye to the Ones We Love
[Home-and-Family:Death-Dying] The first time I met my maternal grandfather I was eleven years old, on a trip to visit the homes and places where my parents grew up and lived before moving to Canada. Sadly, it also turned out to be the only time I got to be with him as two months after our return home, he died from a brain aneurysm. While the news hit me hard, what I remember most from that fateful morning was the sounds of my mother's mournful and inconsolable weeping, of a daughter crying out to her father who just mere weeks earlier had ...
- What is the Value of Homework?
[Reference-and-Education] One of the things I remember about high school was having all these hardcover textbooks that I would trudge home with in my school bag. And more often than not, when I would drop my bag on the hallway floor with this loud reverberating thump, my mom would ask me why on earth was my bag so heavy. My answer to her query was always the same - I needed those heavy books to finish all the homework assignments handed out to me that day.
- Food For Thought - Why Aren't We Thinking More About What We Eat?
[Health-and-Fitness:Nutrition] While watching TV a few nights ago, a pensive ball of wax got rolling regarding a subject that I'll admit is not often on the forefront of my mind. One of key contributers to kick-starting this thought process was the semi-regular bombardment of commercials for these weight-reduction programs geared primarily toward the female set of the population. Now this isn't about the ads themselves; instead, this has to do with our collective perception or relationship to a key factor for living - food.
- Why Bailing Out the Detroit Big Three Automakers is a Bad Idea
[News-and-Society:Economics] In my previous article, "US Auto Manufacturers And The Dodo Bird - Birds Of A Feather?", I examined the current economic situation of the Big Three automakers in Detroit in regards to what led them into this predicament and what parallels can be drawn between them and the history of the Dodo bird. In this piece, I want to discuss the idea of bailing out these three failing automakers and why it's not a good idea.
- Social-Networking Sites MySpace and Facebook - It's Time For Some Change
[Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] Following the debate over the appropriateness of breastfeeding images on social-networking sites, a current limitation has been exposed on how these sites function/operate. This article discusses those limitations and what changes might be necessary for social-networking sites to remain relevant on the ever-expanding global social network.
- The Face Slap - Our Unspoken Tolerance of Violence and Sexism
[Relationships:Domestic-Violence] There's a scene that many of us have witnessed numerous times either in films and/or TV shows, and for some perhaps even in real life, that oddly enough we still don't regard as being an act of violence. As the title of this article infers, I'm talking about the face slap - that action committed by women where, in a state of anger, hurt or perhaps a combination of both, she gives a man a hard slap across the face, often causing the man's head to turn off to one side that demonstrates the power behind ...
- Olympic Medals, Social Identity, and Ramses the Great - Yes, There is a Connection
[Business:Productivity] I've been pondering something about the Olympic Games following a conversation at a party at a friend's house. During the course of the night, we touched on various topics and naturally at one point, the subject of the Olympic Games came up. As one would expect, almost everyone got rather excited as we talked about our country's surge in medals and the hopes for more in the upcoming days.
- US Auto Manufacturers and the Dodo Bird - Birds of a Feather?
[News-and-Society] A look at the mistakes the Detroit "Big Three" car makers have made leading up to their current financial crisis and what comparisons this creates between these corporations and the history of how the Dodo bird went extinct. Does this imply a shared history between these two? Read on and find out.
